5GROWTH & 5G-DIVE Exploration Workshop "Experiences from field trial about vertical industry"
2021-10-29 09:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Berlin)
Driven by cellular technology, a rapid transformation of all industries is underway, with countless innovative solutions reshaping every sector for the better. Any sector can harness cellular to solve ongoing challenges and boost their agility, efficiency, safety, and profitability.
In this context, business and technical aspects are strictly related as the new 5G paradigm has the merit not only to allow a simple “cable replacement” but also to unlock important use cases (UC) which were not possible with legacy technologies.
Several actors or “stakeholders” are involved in this revolution: verticals, Mobile Network Operators (MNO), Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), and vendors of communication systems.
5GROWTH and 5G-DIVE explored the concrete applicability of 5G technologies to real-world use-cases across various vertical sectors, by the realization of advanced 5G validation trials aimed at proving the technical merits and business value proposition of 5G technologies.
This workshop aims at presenting the key aspects inferred by the project’s outputs from several perspectives: vertical operators, vendors, SME, with scope to highlight the opportunities, challenges, and critical aspects to perform concrete exploitation.

Abstract: Industrial networks in smart manufacturing is one of the areas where 5G will play a major role and specifically network slicing is a tool to comply with reliability and security requirements. Network slicing has been proposed for sharing public mobile networks, however industrial non-public networks (NPN) are more demanding in terms of security and low latency communication which makes 5G network slicing a tool to support those demands. The webinar will showcase recent development done in the 5G-SMART and NG-IoT projects targeting industrial robotic and IoT networks. The trial setup located inside a laboratory at the Aalto University campus consists of commercial indoor 5G network operating at 3.5GHz licensed frequency granted by government Traficom for trial of private networks. The setup consists of an end to end system including 5G routers and Cumucore 5G SA core that resembles a real deployment of a smart factory . The webinar will show practical configuration of network slices as well as the implementation aspects and benefits of 5G network slicing.

Webinar speakers:

Dr. Jose Costa-Requena, Senior Scientist and CEO, Cumucore
Dhruvin Patel, Senior Researcher, Ericsson

The vision of the 5G-SMART project (www.5gsmart.eu) is to empower Europe’s manufacturing sector with 5G solutions by integrating 5G in the manufacturing ecosystem, resulting in an accelerated digital transformation.

Athens 5G mobility-efficient city workshop
2022-02-25 09:30 - 15:00
The Athens 5G mobility-efficient city workshop will take place on February 25, 2022, from 09.30 to 15.00 CEST.
The mobility-efficient city aims at presenting a set of use cases that improve the tourism and tourism-related experiences from various perspectives. The use cases described below depict how airport processes can be improved leveraging the offering of 5G both from the side of the visitors and of the airport management. To this end, (i) smart sensor- and AI-based parking management, (ii) personalised evacuation procedure, (iii) follow-me vehicles enhanced with high-quality video streaming capabilities use cases are foreseen. iv) On top of the above, 5G-TOURS presents efficient ways of entertaining/educating travellers – in this case, students going on an excursion – on a smart bus. The Athens-node use case take place on the way to the Athens International Airport and at the airport itself as well.
5G-TOURS will also leverage 5G technology to devise novel solutions for transportation-related applications, which rely on the capabilities of 5G so as to aggregate transportation-related information and communicate between different transportation agents:

Smart parking management: This is a solution that relies on the mMTC functionality provided by 5G. A large number of sensors installed at each individual parking position will help keep track of available and occupied spots in real time, facilitating the parking process within an airport as well as in any other controlled parking area. As a result, this will also add to the travelling efficiency of tourists through targeted parking spot suggestions.
Airport evacuation application: This application will monitor the location of the different users and provide them instructions for evacuation. It will rely on 5G capabilities so as to instantly notify travelers and identify the exact position of the crowds. Based on this, it will devise an evacuation plan and send individual messages to each user with personalised instructions.
Video-enhanced follow-me cars: Follow-me vehicles, which lead aircrafts to parking positions, monitor and oversee the activity at the Airport Airside area, and attend incidents, emergencies and critical events. In 5G-TOURS will develop a solution to equip mobile units of the airport with high definition cameras, sending multiple live feeds to the Airport Operations Centers (AOCs) and other stakeholders. This solution will leverage 5G to enable live streaming of high-resolution video feeds, thus allowing for instant situation awareness and more efficient guidance towards parking locations.
AR/VR-enhanced school bus: Students usually spend a lot of idle time on route, while being transferred to or from the school premises. Applications based on AR or VR that can easily attract students’ attention and help them focus on valuable informative sessions on the road which were not feasible before 5G. 5G-TOURS will demonstrate how 5G and these advanced technologies can work together towards turning students’ idle time on a bus to constructive experiences.

Please don’t forget to join the event.
